🛸 Autonomous powerline recharging revolutionizes drone operations

Researchers at the 🇩🇰 University of Southern Denmark have developed an innovative autonomous drone system capable of uninterrupted long-duration operations near powerlines. Equipped with advanced perception and navigation abilities, the drone autonomously lands on powerlines using a gripping mechanism and recharges its batteries using a split-core current transformer.

Tested in an outdoor powerline environment, the system demonstrated multiple hours of continuous operation, indicating potential for extended endurance. Future work aims to enhance robustness, expand mission complexity, and test in diverse conditions.
